Chapter 52: Li Longyan's Birthday (2)
Li Ji's expression changed greatly, and he immediately became fully guarded, and said: "It turned out to be you! Your Excellency's generation of masters is actually willing to be poor and lowly, hiding in the countryside and town, but I don't know what is going on?"
Li Longyan and Xiaofei were stunned when they heard it, and the two looked left and right, not knowing what was happening, only to feel that the atmosphere was suddenly wrong.
Xia Bai looked at Li Ji and asked, "Who is this mother-in-law?"
Li Ji said: "She is the old lady in white who suddenly appeared in Wangyun Valley. ”
Granny Shi smiled and said, "The old woman came today to congratulate Li Gongzi on his birthday. At the same time, I would like to say a few things to the two of you.
"In the battle of Wangyun Valley, Mr. Li probably heard about the relationship between me and the Holy Sect. I came to Baili Town a year ago to find out the information of Danyang Cao, although I am no longer a member of the Holy Sect, but the love of incense is still there, and I contribute to the Holy Sect, which is voluntary by the old woman.
"As for leaving half of the elixir for the Flying Snow Gang, it is for their good sake with Xiaofei, they gave Xiaofei a lot of gifts some time ago, I am grateful for this virtue, so I didn't do too much. Of course, in the final analysis, it was Li Gongzi and Xiaofei who met each other to leave a good fate for the Feixue Gang, and the acquaintance of the two of them was also Li Gongzi's righteous help that day. All fate is predestined.
"I did the destruction of those rich families. They dared to set the dog to hurt me and Xiaofei, the crime was unforgivable, so I didn't have Li Gongzi to make a move, and I would kill them all over the house. I have been in Baili Town for more than a year, and I have long heard about the behavior of these families, but I didn't commit it to the old woman, so I ignored it. This time, when their lives collided, and the crime was committed in my hands, the old woman was ruthless.
"Listening to Long Yan, the two of you have been worried that I will be bad for your son, but they are too worried. I did think that he was a disciple of someone in this sect, but later recalled that when he used that move, he did not use his own internal skills, but only in vain. There are many people in this religion who work with outsiders, and it is not surprising that outsiders have learned this trick and passed it around. I didn't pay much attention to it. What's more, Li Gongzi helped me and Xiaofei with righteousness, I admire his liver and gall, how can he be even more harmful to Gongzi?
"In the eyes of the world, my holy sect is full of demons and evil people, of course, there are reasons for this sect itself, but I want to say that there are good and bad, good and evil people in every sect, and I can't make a judgment in one word. My Holy Sect desperately seized the Danyang Grass, just to suck less human blood, but it has the intention of goodness, but other sects do not tolerate it, they all use their own selfish desires to gain, and kill and injure both sides, what is the reason for its crime?
"The old woman is now an idler in the world, and the matter of Danyang grass has been completed, and she will not stay long in Liaoxi. The trial of these two pills is to thank Gongzi for saving him that day, and also to thank Xiaofei for taking care of him in the past few days. Today is the birthday of the son, and the wife wishes the son good health and good luck. ”
Granny Shi looked at Li Ji and his wife and said, "What I want to say is all over, if you have any doubts, just ask." ”
Li Ji and Xia Bai glanced at each other, but they were silent.
Xiaofei looked at her mother-in-law with a shocked look on her face, and said, "Mother-in-law, you ...... You're not a mother-in-law?"
This really doesn't make sense, Granny Shi smiled: "I'm still a mother-in-law, but not Granny Shi, my surname is Quan, my full name is Quanyunshi, you should call me Granny Quan." ”
Xiaofei's brain hadn't turned a corner, and she was stunned for a long time before she said, "Quan...... Granny Izumi, you ...... Martial arts, or what kind of person to teach, at the beginning, you ...... Why are you taking me in?"
Granny Quan sighed lightly and said, "Accepting you is all a spur of the moment. When I was a child, I was also alone, for a certain livelihood, quite hard, that day I saw you being bullied, sitting in front of the store and crying secretly, I remembered when I was a child. Over the years, I have been wandering alone, and I also want to find a well-behaved girl to accompany me, and you follow me, but it has also relieved me of a lot of loneliness. ”
Li Longyan said: "Shi ...... Granny Quan, you said that in a few years, you want Xiaofei to live a good life, is it related to this danyang grass?"
Granny Quan looked appreciative and said, "Boy, you're so smart. Yes, I originally wanted to wait for the Danyangcao matter to be over, and then take him back to Jiangnan, I have some assets there, so it is not difficult for Xiaofei to live a good life. ”
Li Longyan didn't understand it anymore, and asked, "Granny Quan, since your family is very rich, why do you have to pretend to be a poor family all these years......?" Isn't that embarrassing yourself?"
Granny Quan smiled and said: "I lived an embarrassing life when I was a child, and then by chance, I entered the Holy Sect, worshiped the master as a teacher, gradually learned some skills, and began to make a career after the age of thirty. It's just that the money comes and the roots are traced, and most of them benefit from this religion.
"More than 10 years ago, I had a dispute with the elders in the church, and in a fit of rage, some of the elders ridiculed me and said that I had done my skills in the holy religion and earned enough benefits, and now I am leaving because of injustice. At that time, I said angrily, "It is true that I have made good profits, but I have contributed a lot to the Holy Religion, well, a few people have said that after I leave the Church, I will not use the money I have earned, but if I have done great things for this Church, I can use it again." So all these years, I have been showing myself as an ordinary person.
"If I really want to make money, I don't have to worry about it, not to mention anything else, my cooking skills alone are enough to worry about food and clothing, but I am used to wandering alone, and I am too lazy to bother to make money. It's just a bit of a drag on Xiaofei. In the battle of Wangyun Valley, I made great contributions to this religion, and everyone witnessed it with their own eyes, and no one had anything to say about the old woman and son regaining their former property. ”
She turned her head to look at Xiaofei and said, "Xiaofei, what your mother-in-law promised you back then can now be realized." In the future, you can also live the life of a rich lady, are you happy?"
Xiaofei looked at her mother-in-law in a daze, at a loss, and couldn't say that she was in any mood.
Li Longyan thought for a while and said, "You know martial arts, those Kuo Shao let the dogs bite you that day, if I don't make a move, will you kill them on the spot?"
Granny Quan snorted and said, "If you don't make a move, I have my own way to make that dog immobilize, but I won't kill people on the spot." I hid my martial arts, just to be unobtrusive, to subdue a dog quietly, and the old woman still has this ability. ”
Li Ji exhaled a long breath and bowed his hand to Granny Quan: "The seniors confided the truth to us today, and Li Ji is grateful. I'm also so strange, since the incident of destroying the door that day, the mysterious master has not moved, and my wife and I don't know what his intentions are, but it turns out that this mysterious master often meets with Xiao'er, haha, it's really a vain worry. Granny Quan, that day in Wangyun Valley, when I was fighting against Mu Shenlong, you didn't attack me, and I am very grateful, if you make a move, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back. ”
Granny Quan smiled and said: "Mr. Li is very good at martial arts, even if I attack you with Mu Lao'er, you will leave, we can't help you." Besides, I see that you seem to have a special understanding of the mastery of this sect, and you must have put a lot of thought into dealing with Mu Lao'er. ”
Li Ji coughed, flickered, and said: "I have had a fight with Elder Bai of your sect before, I know some of your sect's palm techniques, and after a little study, I am really laughing and generous in front of my mother-in-law and Shenlong layman. ”
Granny Quan smiled slightly, and did not ask any more.
Li Ji diverted the topic and said: "There is still something unclear below, why did my mother-in-law come here today to confess the past to us? From my mother-in-law's point of view, even if I don't say these things, it doesn't matter. ”
Granny Quan said: "I don't want the two of you to worry about your son's affairs day and night, so I came to explain it." A few days ago, Xiaofei and I invited Long Yan to dinner, and the people from the Feixue Gang came to look for it, and I knew that the two of them were very worried. I like Long Yan's character very much, and I also want to meet his parents. At that time, I was not sure that Your Excellency was his father, and it was only when I entered the door that I was sure. ”
Xia Bai smiled: "I have said enough, if I don't eat these dishes, it will be cold." ”
Li Longyan hurriedly got up and poured wine for Granny Quan and her parents, and she and Xiaofei also poured a glass.
Several people raised their glasses together to congratulate Li Longyan on his happy birthday.
Li Ji ate a few bites of food and said with a smile: "If the sect grandson gang leader knows that our family eats with Granny Quan, I don't know what kind of expression he will have, and he won't suspect that we are traitors, haha!"
Granny Quan smiled: "Things in the world, it is difficult to talk about it, friends can be enemies, and enemies can also be friends. ”
Li Ji nodded and said, "Not bad." People's good and bad, good and evil, cannot be simply divided into camps. Long Yan had also said before that if your sect got Danyang Grass, I was afraid that it would still be the blessing of the world, and I agreed with his idea, but I was in the Flying Snow Gang and had to contribute to it. That day, my mother-in-law grabbed a few baskets of elixirs, and I didn't feel any regrets when I thought about it afterwards. ”
As soon as Granny Quan heard Li Longyan say this, she poured another glass of wine and said to Li Longyan: "Longyan, I didn't expect you to see things so clearly at such a young age, and have a benevolent heart, I really admire it." Come, mother-in-law toasts you. ”
Li Longyan hurriedly picked up his wine glass, blushed and said: "I just think that if you get Danyang grass, you can not hurt others, which is a good thing, and I don't think about the rest." ”
The two of them clinked glasses and drank all the wine in the glass.
A few people were eating and drinking, talking and talking, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Li Ji and his wife saw that Granny Quan was a master of the generation, but she had no arrogance, she was frank and honest, her bearing was graceful, and she also really loved Xiaofei and Long Yan, and they were very emotional in their hearts, feeling that all the people in the Demon Sect might not be bad people. Although the mother-in-law slaughtered those families is a bit spicy, everyone has their own personality and bottom line, and those people have offended the mother-in-law's rebellion, and they can only blame them for their bad luck.
During the banquet, Granny Quan asked Li Ji and his wife when they would return, and the couple said that it would only be these two days. When asked about the time of her mother-in-law's return, Granny Quan said that there were still some things in western Liaoning, and she would not be able to go back in a few months.
Li Ji picked up the two pills, observed them for a long time, praised them, and said that his mother-in-law's pharmaceutical skills were superb, and they were much higher than himself.
Granny Quan said with a smile: "I am teaching the Central Plains to refine medicine, and for decades, I have also had some experience in refining medicine. Mr. Li comes from a famous family, family history, medical Taoism, if there is an opportunity in the future, we can have a good exchange. ”
